An afternoon drive
I started out today for a short drive to clear my head, I ended up in the Twilight Zone. I started in Sweetwater (don't ask why) and decided to drive by the Lost Sea and head back to Knoxville via Hwy.411. When I got to Madisonville the road to the Cherohala looked empty and I thought what the hell let's try it. It's usually a hell of motorcycle riders. I never thought about how long it would take to drive. By the time I got to Robinsville NC it was dark and I had to drive "The Dragon" in the dark. With only my headlights the entire curvy hell looked the same, and after a while I began to think I was driving the same two curves over and over and over again. The next mistake I made was thinking that the Foothills Parkway would be shorter than Hwy 129, DUH! Long dark and empty, both the Dragon and the Parkway. Pictures are up on the Flickr and maybe when I've some sleep I'll write some more.

Wow...I've never even heard of those places on those signs. I want to drive "The Dragon" but Jim tells me I have to drive it or I'll get carsick. Still, it looks like you had a fun outting and would've been nice to ride along but we had the Jim's Momma in town.
Glad you didn't get lost!
Now pick up those bread crumbs.
